|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>This fixes the table name in the warning about auto increment and biblioitems on the About Koha > System information page.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the system identifies auto increment issues, the message is now "The following IDs exist in both tables biblioitems and deletedbiblioitems", instead of "...tables biblio and deletedbiblioitems".</li>

|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>This fixes an issue that occurs in Acquisitions when adding an order from a new or staged file. If the system preference AcqCreateItem is set to create items when the order is placed, and item information is not imported from the uploaded MARC file, then the librarian would enter the item information in the "Item information" tab when confirming the order. The information from this tab was not getting processed correctly, which led to "empty" items being created.</li>

|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>This fixes closing and reopening of invoices using the action button options (Acquisitions > [Vendor] > Invoices > Actions) - when used from the search results when using invoice filters (for example, shipment to and from dates). This caused an internal server error with the message "The given date <date> does not match the date format (iso)...". It also adds a confirmation message when deleting an invoice.</li>

<p>This fixes a regression. When an item in transit was checked in at a library other than the destination, it was not generating the "Wrong transfer" dialog box.</li>

|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>This fixes the "Cancel selected" button for a records' holds table in the staff interface - it now cancels the selected holds. Previously, after you confirmed the hold cancellation nothing happened (the background jobs didn't run and the holds were not cancelled). (This is related to the CSRF changes added in Koha 24.05 to improve form security.)</p>

<p>This enhancement makes the misc/maintenance/audit_database.pl script (added in Koha 23.11) available in the staff interface - About Koha > Database audit tab. The script compares the instance's database against kohastructure.sql and identifies any differences that need fixing. This is useful for identifying database issues that should be addressed before running a maintenance or release update.</li>
